Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight procured the production and delivery of pre-made sandwiches for St Mary’s Hospital in Newport, Isle of Wight. This is a prepared-food supply requirement, covering sandwiches delivered to the hospital. The buying organisation is Isle of Wight. The procurement was aimed at businesses able to produce sandwiches consistently and deliver them to a hospital site; it is a supply contract rather than a catering or construction service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Curry on Wheels Limited. The award date was 22 October 2026, with an awarded value of £754,500. The contract period runs from 4 November 2026 to 3 November 2027, with provision for three 12-month extensions, giving a possible end date of 3 November 2030. The opportunity was run through a below-threshold limited competition and had one lot. Two bids were received, both from SMEs. The lot was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published evaluation basis is not included in the process information.

This award shows demand from the Isle of Wight for a regular, reliable supply of pre-made sandwiches to St Mary’s Hospital. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement returns will be able to produce prepared sandwiches at a dependable scale and deliver consistently to the hospital on the Isle of Wight. The previous competition attracted two SME bids, indicating that the requirement was accessible to smaller suppliers as well as larger food producers. A credible competitor should be able to demonstrate reliable production and delivery arrangements for a hospital customer, and the operational capacity to maintain that service throughout the contract. The contract is focused on sandwich supply, so businesses specialising in prepared food production and distribution are the most directly relevant.
